Manitoba Preparing to Resist Govern

Manitoba Preparing to Resist Govern
ment Oppression-No Rail Outlet to the
States.
OTTAWA, Ont, May 27.-The debate on
the motion for suspension of the gov
ernment's policy as disallowing the local
railway acts of the Manitoban Legisla-
ture was continued in the House of Com
mons until 3: 80 this morning, when the
motion was lost by 4S majority. Sever
al Liberals voted with the government.
The Canadian Pacific will therefore con-
tinue to enjoy monopoly of railway
freights in Manit ba unless the people of
the province take the matter into their
own hands, as they have threatened to
do. Meetings have been held to protest
against this action by the Legisla-
ture, at which it was threatened
that, should the government refuse
permission for the construction of
the southern outlet, the people
would build the line without the consent
of the Legislature. The Canadian Pacific
Road was built and is owned by English
capitalists, whom it is claimed have ex-
erted an influence to prevent the North
ern Pacific Company from building
road into Manitoba, that their
own line may continue to have
monopoly of the territorial
business. Manitoba people claim that
the rates on freight are excessively high,
and have prevented a rapid settlement
ofthe district and injured the interests
of the settlers now there. The an
nouncement that the Northern Pacific
would build to Winnipeg was received
with joy, while the report that the Leg
islature was likely to prevent the con-
struction of the line caused loud threats
O. rebellion and even secession. There
is no doubt that the situation is serious.
An attempt will certainly be made by
the Manitobans to build the road to the
border, regardless of consequences.
The movement will be resisted by the
government, and struggle of more or
less magnitude is sure to follow.

THE business OF operating railroads
in Mexico has so far proved to be
q very profitable one, as several
American corporations are prepared
to testify; but things are beginning to
improve in that respect, and the
present summer promises TO show re-
newed activity IN the extension Of
the principal existing lines and the in
auguration OF new ones to meet pub
lie demand for increased facilities Of
transportation. The Diaz Govern
ment is very hospitable to such prof.
ects; and there can be no doubt that
Mexican people, in spite of their char
acteristic and traditional preference
for old aud slow commercial theories,
are fast Learning that it is to their in-
terest to do business according to the
methods which have served to make
the United States SO prosperous and
powerful.

VIOLATING THE LAW,

The Missouri Pacific Charged With Dis
eliminating Against st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 27.-It has Just
been learned that the Associated Whole
sale Grocers of this city have entered
formal complaint Of discrimination
against the Missouri Pacific before the
Interstate commerce commission. The
causes of grievance are three in number.
1t is alleged that conspiracy exists be-
tween the Missouri Pacific and other
lines, by which shippers outside of the
state are charged less for transportation
for points without the state than is
charged for Missouri shippers for
transportation between the same points;
that though the Missouri Pacific has no
line of its own between this city and
East st. Louis, it offers to do business
for both these points from Kansas, Ne
braska and other states at the same rate,
and as the Missouri Pacific must pay
something for transportation across the
river out of the compensation received,
it is argued that this city is Disseminated
against in favor of East st. Louis. Car
load rates is the burden of the
third plant; and that the Missouri
Pacific rates for carload lots from this
city and other points is more than Is
per cent. less than the rate charged for
similar merchandise in quantities less
than a carload, which, it is alleged, is in
violation of the first and second sections
of the Interstate law.

PERSONS who are made, without
good cause correspondence in di-
vorce suits have recourse in England, ,
it seems, for the expense thus thrust
upon them. The Duke of Marlbor-
ough has filed bill in the bankruptcy
court against Lord Colin Campbell
for the trouble he has been put to by
the latter. Whether his chances for
recovering anything are good or bad,
he stands as the representative of a
sound principle. No man has g. right
to thus saddle indefinite legal expenses
on another without being held respon-
sible for repayment if the charge is
not proven.

THE Behring Sea question may be-
come of even more Importance than
the Canadian question, unless En-
gland abandons it's present claims,
which appear to have no foundation
in fact. Henry w. Elliot, who recent
ly published an important volume on
Alaska, and is thoroughly informed
on questions relating to that terri
tory, says the authority of Russia
over those waters was never ques-
toned from 1745 to 1857, the date
of our purchase of Alaska from Rus
STA. By that purchase the United
States, of course, acquired all the
rights in the Behring Sea which
were formerly possessed by Russia,
and if Great Britain had no rights
there then it has none now.
